When you chose to book a ship that is new, as is the Dream, the demand is high, and the prices reflect this. Put a new ship, in a port like Galveston, where people are ansty for new ship,and,different itinerarys..prices won't fluctuate too much.

Ships like Oasis and Allure, will be higher priced for several years to come due to the unique offerrings onboard...No incentive to discount bigtime, when demand is high...
